I seek groundbreaking knowledge on cardiac function in fishes. Fishes represent about 50% of all living vertebrate species and have adapted to most aquatic habitats. The heart powers the circulatory life support system, and so cardiac function greatly influences how well a fish performs in a particular environment. I will use experimental approaches that span from whole animal studies through organ and cellular level studies to discover how cardiac design is fine-tuned to permit fish to live at extremely warm temperature or with little oxygen. This basic physiological knowledge will be applied to fish conservation and fish aquaculture.

我在寻找关于鱼类心脏功能的突破性知识。鱼类约占所有现存脊椎动物物种的50%，并已适应大多数水生栖息地。心脏为循环生命支持系统提供动力，因此心脏功能极大地影响了鱼在特定环境中的表现。我将使用从整个动物研究到器官和细胞水平研究的实验方法，以发现心脏设计是如何微调的，以允许鱼类在极温暖的温度或几乎没有氧气的情况下生活。这些基本的生理知识将应用于鱼类保护和鱼类养殖。
